Science QUIZ 😢😩(👍TEST Tuseday) (Good luck studying)

Mathematical models are made up of equasions that represent complex relationships in nature. These models can be used to make predictions and test ideas.

Why are the mathematical models so valuable to scientist who studied complex phenomena that like weather?

In order to make predictions further into the future.

Why are weather models improved?

So many factors influence weather.

Why are forecast models very complex?

It is hard to predict exactly what will happen in an exact location.

Why are many predictions given as a chance or percentage for a general area?

Decrese/increase

.

diagram, physical representation, mathematical representation, computer simulation, or other representation of a system.

A model is a........

limitations,same,would not

All models have (limitations/graphs). By drawing a straight trend line on this graph we are showing the rate of growth is the (same/changing). If the rate of growth changes as the plant ages the line (would/ would not) be straight and this model would not make a reliable prediction.

Limitations, the same,would not.

Choose the best one: All models have (Limitations/graphs). By drawing a straight Trans line on this graph, we are assuming the rate of the growth is (the same/changing). if the rate of the growth changes as the plant ages, the line(would/would not) Be straight in this model would not make a Reliable prediction.

it is useful if you are traveling to Idaho because you will be able to see if it is going to be raining for your trip or if some of your vents have to be canceled. is telling you that there will be 24 hours of rainy weather.

How can a map to explain how a forecast that shows probability of precipitation be useful? how accurate do you think this forecast is?

They might Doppler Radar and computer maps. They will look at maps to see if precipitation is likely and to see the temperatures for the week. I think their prediction is accurate because they look at maps, computers, and weather patterns.

How might a weather forecaster predict future weather conditions? Describe any data or tools they might use and explain whether you think their prediction is accurate.

1.Bring an umbrella 2. Cancel some of your events that our outside that you were going to do

If it is very rainy out what travel advice would you give to someone planning to visit the beach in Oregon tomorrow?

Short range forecast.

In general what forecast are more accurate than forecasts made for longer periods of time?

Events in nature often follow predictable patterns.

It is possible for scientists to make models because why?

Before they share their results with the public.

Meteorologist and forecasters analyze weather forecast model results before they do what?

They are simplified versions of the systems they represent.

Models are important scientific tools, but why are they limited?

Different weather conditions.

One small change in a factor such as wind direction or ocean circulation can impact other what?

0 to 3 days into the future.

Short range weather forecast make predictions for how many days?

1. decrease 2. decrease

The rabbit population would (decrease/increase) if the supply of grass became limited. This would happen because grass is a food source for rabbits. If the population of rabbits decreased, the population of hawks would likely (decrease/increase).

wind speed, air pressure, humidity, cloud cover, precipitation, and temperature.Also taken into account are the current locations and movements of air masses, fronts, and high- and low-pressure systems.

To make a weather forecast, past and current weather conditions are considered. This includes things such as .....

Weather forecasts are tested by comparing their predictions to what actually happens with the weather. Over time, one may notice patterns and be able to adjust the equations used in the model to make more accurate prdictions.

Weather forecast models have advantages and drawbacks. For example, one model and they predict rain in a region with more accuracy than the other model. Explain how the accuracy of a weather forecast model is tested

severe weather, such as blizzards and hurricanes.

Weather forecasts not only help people plan their day, but they also provide warnings about what?

provide warnings about severe weather such as blizzards and hurricanes

Weather forecasts not only help people plan their day, but what else do they do?

They are tools that help scientists answer questions. Models are used in science to represent things that are large, small, dangerous, or complex

What are models?

Wind speed air pressure humidity cloud cover precipitation and temperature

What does making a weather prediction include?

A model that uses equations to represent the way a system or a process works.

What is a mathematical model?

A prediction about the state of the atmosphere at a given place and time.

What is a weather forecast?

temperature, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, and humidity

What predictions can a weather forecast make?

You have to consider past and current weather conditions, current locations and movements of air masses, fronts, and high and low pressure systems

What things do you need to do to make a weather forecast?

mathematical model

a model that uses equations to represent the way a system or a process works.

weather forecast

a prediction about the state of the atmosphere for a given location and time

38cm

if you use the ruler and Drew a single straight trend line that comes as close as possible to points on a graph how tall will the seedling be on day 40 cording to your trend line model?

they can range from weeks to months into the future.

long range weather forecast, or outlooks range for how many days?

3 to 7 days into the future

medium range weather forecast make predictions for how many days?
